    @gorhill or @gwarser:
    Do you mind reverting this Wiki edit or at least taking a look into it? (A person asked a question earlier in the discussions about this subject and was told the Wiki answer was very clear as it stood. Then the issue was locked.)

    I don't feel this belongs in the wiki. Especially with it pointing to someone's comment and also putting "[ Which? ]" in the paragraph to instigate or troll a reaction. I don't know what this formatting code "<&>...</&>" is trying to accomplish either. ]

    Reverted, thanks for the heads up. The commit had nothing to do with the question asked. I have blocked that user to prevent further vandalism. ]

    My apologies for bringing the discussion to the less proper place...
    But gorhill's block caused me unable to reply at the right place.

<^>    Er, the commit indeed had nothing to do with the question asked [ https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/2183 ].
    As clearly indicated in the edit description:
[[
Added info about the specific-generic filter ("*##${Selector}") (and tagged ambiguity) and the "generichide" directive. Added example for ":style( ... )" operator.
]]
(not displayed in the "wiki/_compare" page, only in "_history" (before revert) )

    [ Quote (previous):

<^>    Vandalism?..
    I'd suggest looking at the rendered page:
    https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/wiki/Static-filter-syntax/9fd0bc3eaefb1f879666b24b7852209c91e1c6c8
    .
    While I admit that the pre-rendered Markdown indeed somewhat looks like vandalism (without scrutiny), but that's Markdown's inherent problem.

<^>    That question is about a different subject (though referred the wiki) and for different purpose.
    And I sincerely do not quite understand why it was locked... As I (perhaps others) still have information to add.

<^>    Similar practice is normal on Wikipedia. (reference inclusion (under fair use) and tagging questionable contents)

    [ Quote (previous):

<^>    Without such marking how to tell which part the tag is to be applied?

    You cannot "comment" in filter list maintained by someone else and downloaded from remote location. ]
<^>    I realized the point soon after my further questioning.
    Though mapx- rashly locked the discussion even sooner before I had the opportunity to update the post...

What is this unusual text formatting? I don't understand what is what.

[MasterInQuestion]

    Which are you referring to?
    The one in my uBO wiki commit, or here?

    ----

    Assumed "both".

    "What is this unusual text formatting?"
<^>    My flower-gathering result from various existed practices.
    Plus some my own invention.

    "I don't understand what is what."
<^>    Indeed a problem, probably somewhat related with writing habit.
    But no superior solution seems possible.

    Partly related:

    Things should look better with some simple standard bracket matching algorithm:
    E.g. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/186288#issue-1776467472

    Thanks for your interest anyway.
